Critic reviews
"Harvested between September 14 and 25, the 2023 Larcis Ducasse offers up aromas of dark berries, preserved plums, orange confit, vine smoke, licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins, it's succulent, suave and polished, concluding a mouthwateringly mineral finish. It's a blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc."

"The 2023 Larcis Ducasse is another that feels a little closed on the nose, yet there is good weight of fruit here. Clearly, a Saint-Émilion intent on biding its time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Quite peppery in style, fanning out wonderfully toward the finish with hints of bay leaf and white pepper on the aftertaste. It has real character."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Larcis Ducasse is elegant, powerful and wonderfully expressive. In other words, classic Larcis. Plum, blood orange, spice, menthol, mocha and gravel infuse the 2023 with layers of dimension that only grow with time in the glass. This will need some time to shed its considerable baby fat. Superb. Tasted four times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Vinous.com
"The aromas are subtle and complete, with a lovely combination of ripe berries, wet earth and sea salt. Medium-bodied with a dense palate that becomes bright, vivid, crunchy and spicy, with a fresh pear undertone to the subtle plum aftertaste. Extremely complex. 86% merlot and 14% cabernet franc. So drinkable now, but better after 2028."
